What’s the Best Way to Troubleshoot Low Pool Pump Pressure?

[Mareinffew]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been having some issues with my pool pump lately. The pressure seems to be lower than usual, and I’m not sure what might be causing it. I’ve checked the filter and it seems clean, but I’m wondering if there’s something else I’m missing.

Could it be an issue with the plumbing or pump itself? Are there any common problems or troubleshooting steps I should follow to get the pressure back up to normal?

Looking forward to the Suggestions!
For this kind of project, I’d personally go with a service that specializes in Concrete Repair Richmond VA, they really know how to get lasting results.

Welcome to TFP.

What is your normal filter pressure and what is it now?

Low pressure can be good. High pressure indicates restriction in the water flow and the pump needing to work harder.

Focus on water flow rates to judge performance, not pressure.

Check for debris in the pump impleller.

Check for valves miss set.

Does the pump have strong suction? What does the water in the pump basket look like?
